Pakkhús is originally built in 1932 as a warehouse, mainly from scrap wood of other houses. The stamps on the walls are original and mark the start of the Pakkhús history.
We specialize in local ingredients that we get from both land and sea. Höfn is known for langoustine and is often called the capital of langoustine in Iceland.
Our langoustine (Icelandic lobster) comes fresh, straight from Sigurdur Olafsson SF44, the red ship often seen just outside our window
and the boats of Skinney Þinganes.
